Tracking Your Pollinator Paradise

POLLINATORS ARE IN DECLINE!

The good news? We can help. Our cities and gardens are often way stations, oases on the edges of agricultural communities and wild areas. In the U.S. alone, there are over 60 million urban acres of existing and potential pollinator protection zones.

— do you know which pollinators are visiting your garden at what levels (a few, a good number, lots)?

— what plants are they using and does this change over time?

— what additional resources do you supply and are they used?

— with this information, what garden adjustments might you make to better serve them?

Some plantings were already working well. But there is always room for improvement and more things to learn in a garden, right? I’ve translated my process into a working journal to help you see deeper into your own garden and help our pollinators.

This site’s pollinator pages and the book are —
